Pregnancy, Infants, & Children
See Real Vegan Children for examples of vegan kids whose mothers had a vegan pregnancy.
This page features information about specific details about vegan diets for pregnancy, breastfeeding, and children that are not typically addressed elsewhere. It also contains links for more information.
For general, concise nutrient recommendations, please see Vegan Nutrition in Pregnancy and Childhood by Reed Mangels, PhD, RD and Katie Kavanagh-Prochaska, RD.
Specific vitamin B12 recommendations for children of different ages are listed here.
Expert Opinions on Veg Diets for Pregnancy, Infants, & Children
In their 5th Edition (2004) of the Pediatric Nutrition Handbook, the American Academy of Pediatrics sa
Children exhibit good growth and thrive on most lacto-ovo vegetarian and vegan diets when they are well planned and supplemented appropriately. (Chapter 12: Nutrition Aspects of Vegetarian Diets, p. 194)
In their 2009 Position Paper, Vegetarian Diets, the American Dietetic Association and Dietitians of Canada state:
Well-planned vegan, lacto-vegetarian, and lacto-ovo-vegetarian diets are appropriate for all stages of the life cycle, including pregnancy and lactation. Appropriately planned vegan, lacto-vegetarian, and lacto-ovo-vegetarian diets satisfy nutrient needs of infants, children, and adolescents and promote normal growth.
Vitamin B12, iodine, and choline are nutrients of which vegan mothers should make sure they have a reliable supply.
Deva Nutrition has a Vegan Prenatal Multivitamin
Unfortunately, two of three studies of vegetarian mothers showed an increased risk of having a boy with hypospadias. You can read more about that research in the article Hypospadias and Vegetarian Diets.

The American Dietetic Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics agree that well-planned vegan diets can satisfy the nutrient needs and normal growth of infants (1).
Breast-feeding is the best option when possible. Vegan parents should not try to make their own infant formulas as this often leads to poor child development. Although more research is desirable, it appears that soy infant formulas are generally safe. See below for information regarding soy formulas.
It is important for child development that the mothers of exclusively breast-fed infants ensure they are getting a reliable supply of vitamin B12.
Breast milk is low in vitamin D and varies according to the mother's intake/sun exposure. According to some experts, dark-skinned, breast-fed babies should be given vitamin D supplements (2).
In 2008, the American Academy of Pediatrics raised its recommendations for infants from 5 µg (200 IU) of vitamin D per day to 10 µg (400 IU). They stated, "It is now recommended that all infants and children, including adolescents, have a minimum daily intake of 400 IU of vitamin D beginning soon after birth." (4)

- May 2002 VRG-News by Reed Mangels, PhD, RD
- Vitamin A and Breastfed Babies by Reed Mangels, PhD, RD
A food writer, Nina Planck, occasionally writes articles to dissuade parents from feeding their infants and children a vegan diet. Here are two responses to her articles from experts on vegan nutrition for infants and children:
- Vegan Children: Response to NYT Op-Ed, by Reed Mangels, PhD, RD
- The New York Times, Nina Planck, and Safety of Vegan Diets, by Ginny Messina, MPH, RD
Soy Formulas
If you need to feed your baby formula, soy formulas are available. Unfortunately, they all contain vitamin D3 (which comes from lanolin in sheep's wool or from fish). As of June 2007, the following brands were vegan except for the vitamin D3:
- Bright Beginnings Soy Pediatric Drink - vitamin D synthesized from animal cholesterol.
- Enfamil ProSobee and Enfagrow Toddler Transitions Soy - vitamin D from lanolin; DHA from microalgae; ARA from fungi.
- Parent's Choice Soy Infant Formula sold only at WalMart - vitamin D from lanolin.
- Baby's Only Organic Soy Formula - vitamin D from lanolin.
- Ross Labs Similac Isomil - vitamin D from lanolin.
- Nestle Good Start Supreme Soy DHA DHA & ARA - vitamin D from lanolin.
Click here for thoughts on the subject of trying to be 100% vegan.
Is Soy Formula Safe?
The short answer is that it is just as safe as cow's milk formula. Research shows that you should choose a soy formula with DHA. Soy formula is not intended for pre-term infants.
For more information see the Infant Formula section of Soy: What's the Harm?
More information:
- Feeding Vegan Kids by Reed Mangels, PhD, RD
- Raising Vegetarian Children (book) by Joanne Stepaniak, MS ED and Vesanto Melina, MS, RD.
- Vegetarian Resource Group's Yahoo email group - for parents of vegetarian or vegan children.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children eat no more than.23 g of fiber per pound of body weight per day. Vegan children can easily exceed this limit. They might come closer to recommendations by eating half of their servings of grains as refined grains (e.g., white pasta, white rice, white bread) (3).
Vegan children who do not eat much because they get full easily may benefit from eating some low-fiber foods such as refined grains, peeled fruits and vegetables, and added oils (3). Nuts and nut butters can also increase their calorie and protein intake. For younger children, be sure to chop or grind nuts well enough to prevent choking.

Man arrested after standoff, chase
Police: Suspect shot with Taser during chase
A 34-year-old man was arrested Sunday after he ran from authorities following an attempted burglary.
A Spartanburg County sheriff's deputy responded to a call for assistance from a Chesnee police officer who was trying to apprehend a burglary suspect, identified by police as Chad Edward Hollingsworth.
As the deputy approached the scene, he saw the police officer involved in a standoff with the suspect, who was armed with a knife.
Police said Hollingsworth tried to get into a pickup truck to drive away. The deputy and officer were able to stop him, but the suspect then tried to get inside a sedan that had keys in the ignition and unlocked doors near at a Hot Spot gas station.
The deputy and the officer could not remove Hollingsworth from the vehicle, so he started the engine and began to pull away. The deputy was able to remove himself from the vehicle but the officer was not until after the vehicle had pulled away.
Responding deputies chased Hollingsworth and stopped him on Casey Creek Road.
After a short foot chase, Hollingsworth, who had been shot with a Taser, was taken into custody and taken to a local hospital.
Hollingsworth has a current outstanding bench warrant for his arrest on a charge of possession of marijuana.

TP needs some updating. It is not very intuitive for new users. Instructions are hard to follow at times. Support response is in need of someone's dedication. Having individual paints is a real attraction within iRacing. This needs to be done better or replaced! Interesting that without member support there would be no answers or help. It's a shame, the program is so popular not to have good management.
Billy Stanley
I plan on taking this advice. Great page!

Hey Shaun:
I was hoping to participate in the next race and on Simracing System it says it's at Fuji. Which version of Fuji should I download.

I am all signed up and ready to race in the Carrera Cup, except for one thing. How do I obtain Road America? I do not have it in AC as one of my tracks. Where is it?

Cavan Biggio, the son of former Houston Astros infielder Craig Biggio, has made quite the name for himself over the last couple of years. Biggio was a Perfect Game All-American and was committed to Virginia for quite some time. However, the elite 6-foot-1, 185-pounder, had a change of heart at the last second during the early period and decided on Notre Dame, where his brother Conor is a sophomore. Cavan is ranked No. 16 nationally and the nation's No. 1 third baseman. Biggio received a PG grade of 10.0 for his performance at PG National last summer. Biggio showed elite offensive skills with quick hips and hands, while also doing a great job of squaring up the ball.

Reviews (13)
"Can't do without it!"
It's great for my miniature horses! Keeps ALL little buzzy critters away from their ears! They love it!
"It works -Dog likes it!"
My dog likes to have it put on his big ears, French Bulldog. What better recommendation could it have!
"Works Great"
I have using the Ear Mite Killer for years. I won't be without it. I like the fact that it kills mites on contact and the Aloe keeps the babies ears from becoming irritated.
"Kill a mite"
Great produce and my cat ask for more when she has mites.
"Messy but it works!"
I use this on a horse with itchy ears due to flies. I applied this product and though I found it greasy, the horse did not mind having it applied to his ears. Works well, does have an interesting odor, and kept the flies away from his ears during the trail ride. I will use this product again, but I would not advise it for use on house dogs as this product will stain furniture.
"Ear Mite Killer with Aloe"
We use the Ear Mite Killer on our horse's ears for gnats and flies. We smear it on the inside of the ear, not down in the ear. It is a good product and economical.
"Use on my horses"
I have been using this on my pasture horses for several years. They love it so much they lower their heads as I rub it in their ears. I love the smell
"Ear Mite Killer"
ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! I have used so many products on my kitties and puppies for ear mites with little to no results, but Ear Mite Killer does exactly what it says. I followed the directions and I have very happy kids and a very happy Mama. I highly recommend Ear Mite Killer. Cheers!
"Best Value for ear mites"
I love this product, and have used it for probably 20 years. It is the best value per ounce and it works great.
"Happy Dog, Happy Owner!"
This worked so fast! Even after just one application. Easy to apply and it seemed to provide immediate relief. I cleaned and reapplied two more times. Mites are gone. Super fast shipping, too! Happy, happy, happy!
"Jeffers ear mite killer"
I use this product for rabbits, It works very well. Have been using it for several years, with no complaints.
"Performer Performs!"
"I've used this product for years. When my cats have itchy ears they come to me asking for relief. As anyone with cats knows, working with kitty ears is working with a moving target! Yet they know that they gain instant relief when I apply the medication so they actually beg for me to use it when needed. I apply the ointment, wait a day and then swab the ears clean as the dirty residue in their ears is softened and seems to ""rise to the top"" for easy removal. Then I reapply the ointment every several days and swab their ears clean. I apply Performer inside and to the outside of their ears whether I'm working with a cat or dog so that the ear mites can't escape the solution. None of my animals ever has had a reaction to the medication."
"Wonderful solution"
My dos ear was in need of care of a vet due to ear mites. I was low on funds so i opened my Jeffers catalog and found the solution to the problem as i always do when in need Jeffers is always there!!Product solved the issue in 3days and no side effect!My dog is feeling better and so are my pockets!Jeffers is a low cost solution to almost every issue you may have if you know what to look for it's there!!Thanks JEFFERS!!

Authentic and Stylish Hotels: Reborn
The Pansea Mantra
Pansea Hotels & Resorts have designed, developed and operated a portfolio of boutique hotels and resorts across Asia, renowned for their sense of place, architectural style and service - and for a focus on exceptional cuisine. They aim to exude an aura of understated luxury and authenticity in accommodation with deliberately limited room inventories, as Pansea feels that a hotel needs to be small to retain charm, friendliness and character. We are now developing uniquely designed hotels in Cuba.
Pansea is a unique and proven concept: it relies upon the development of small properties upon exceptional sites, where the hotel roots itself in the local culture, architecture and design, yet offers a canopy of superior level, international-standard service within this local charm and ambiance. Pansea hotels reflect and protect their environments.
Pansea hotels tempt their guests with the aura of exoticism and authenticity which they seek in their travels, yet also guarantee these guests the superior levels of comfort, cleanliness and service which they expect. The Pansea network allows the client to escape from the stereotyped international hotel room and its bland, constricting homogeneity, into the authentic and seductive world of vibrant foreign cultures.
Pansea hotels and resorts in Cuba
Pansea's goal in Cuba is to allow visitors to discover and
experience the impressive range of the country in all its aspects - its
architecture, history, nature, culture and soul, and the remains of
American influence. This diversity and uniqueness have been ignored by
the existing hotel infrastructure to date, the latter being
predominantly dedicated to mass tourism.
From the heart of Havana to the exclusive natural sites of Viñalés - the famous Tobacco Valley - and Trinidad - the oldest historical settlement of the discoverers of Hispañola, Pansea's guests will experience the soul of Cuba.
The construction of the Pansea Trinidad has now commenced, and is set
to open in the first quarter of 2014. It will be followed by the
remaining hotel projects across the island.

Months and years of campaigning, more than$2.2 billion in election spending, over 100 million votes cast… and Americans in their wisdom decided to essentially maintain the status quo. President Obama returns to the White House for a second mandate. The Senate stays blue; the House stays red. But lest anyone was thinking that this whole thing was a giant waste of time, remember that it beats the hell out of the alternative.
I was on a plane for most of the evening, and while I was able to watch the results come in on satellite TV (thanks, WestJet!), I didn't have internet access so no liveblogging of results. It was like a throwback to the pre-Web 2.0 years when you actually had to rely on traditional media sources for information. Well, unless you're Barack Obama, author of the Tweet heard around the world.
The big vote
The race was close all night, but the nail-biter didn't materialize. While both candidates were neck-and-neck in the popular vote for much of the evening, most of the highly contested swing states went one by one to Obama: New Hampshire, Iowa, Wisconsin, Virginia were called one by one for Team Obama. You could see the wind go out of the sails in the Romney camp as each one was declared, but Ohio finally solidified things shortly after 11pm ET. At that point, it was all over but the fat lady, whose singing will be heard in Florida just as soon as all those folks standing in line have a chance to vote.Latest US election results 2012, as of 2:30AM ET on Nov 7th. Source: CNN.
So what happened to give the Obama team such a wide margin of victory, despite a 7.9% unemployment rate and widespread anger and disillusionment with the status quo?

(CNN) -- Two African-American women who accepted offers last week to pledge Greek organizations at the University of Alabama were still receiving congratulations Monday, three days after the university announced that historically white sororities on campus had extended bids to minority students.
The school had been under fire after an article in the campus newspaper claimed that several sororities on campus had denied membership opportunities to black students because of their race. After nearly two weeks of nationwide scrutiny of the recruitment process, the school announced it would offer an ongoing open bidding process, meaning new members can be added at any time during the semester.
On Friday, University of Alabama President Judy Bonner said the university's historically white sororities offered 72 bids, through which 11 black women and three other minority women were invited to pledge. Bonner said four black women and two women representing other minority groups have accepted. News outlets Friday identified two of them as Halle Lindsay, who joined joined Alpha Gamma Delta, and Cami McCant who joined Kappa Alpha Theta.
Sorority members trumpeted the news on social media sites Friday, with many posting congratulatory messages.
The congratulations continued on Monday. "Such an inspiration and I hope that your sisters make the rest of your college years amazing!" a user tweeted to Lindsay, who thanked her.
"From all of your sisters at @ThetaWFU -- Welcome HÓ¨ME!" posted another Twitter user to an account appearing to belong to McCant.
In a groundbreaking video message last week, Bonner called the bids the first step toward removing barriers in the sorority system.
"I am confident that we will achieve our objective of a Greek system that is inclusive, accessible and welcoming to students of all races and ethnicities. We will not tolerate anything less," she said.
Bonner also said the university "will continue to make progress" and "do the right thing, for the right reason, the right way.

Sliced hard boiled eggs, juicy ripe tomatoes, chopped scallions with a touch of mayonnaise, salt and pepper – enjoy this for breakfast or lunch.
With Spring in the air, I thought I'd share this sandwich from the archives which I often make for my older daughter, Karina. It's inexpensive, easy to make and she loves it!
Before I left my previous job in Manhattan, there was a small cafe that served this simple egg sandwich that I was hooked on. It's so simple but the flavors just work with the tomatoes and scallions. Now that I work at home, I make it quite often for myself and my daughter as she often requests it.
Easy Tip: Keep hard boiled eggs in your refrigerator for a quick breakfast on the go, to add to sandwiches or even salads. It only takes a few minutes to boil a few eggs, here's a foolproof way to make perfect hard boiled eggs every time[1].

One of the most useful tools in understanding the abuse of DMCA takedown letters is the site ChillingEffects.org. Now, the EFF, along with some other organizations focused on the excesses of patent trolling, have launched Trolling Effects to create a database of patent troll threats. As we've discussed in the past, one of the more nefarious aspects of patent trolling is that we really have no idea how widespread the practice is, because so many companies who receive threat letters from trolls quickly do the math and realize it's cheaper to just pay up to get the troll to go away than to fight it in court -- even if the recipient of a threat letter is absolutely positive they don't infringe.

About the Sony Alpha NEX-5R (no lens included)
How to get a promotion in five minutes
How to get a promotion in five minutes
You're in charge of the corporate newsletter for your fledgling consultancy firm. Your boss has been bugging you for months about one thing: his byline picture features him before his summer health kick twenty pounds heavier. He trusts your eye, so you grab your new Sony Alpha NEX-5R and take some portraits with nicely defocused backgrounds. Score! He loves the third one you took with the continuous shooting mode (a great trick for those whose pose isn't practiced). Time to engage one of the PlayMemories photo retouching apps you downloaded straight to the camera to add a little punch to the shot. Then you use the built-in Wi-Fi® sharing to send it to your company server, your graphic designer and your boss's iPad®, and another job is off your punch list. Total time expended? Five minutes, max. Can a promotion and a little vacation time be far off?
The features you already love, plus more
This is just one of the many ways that the NEX-5R might be able to make your life a little easier. With all of the features that have made Sony's entire line of NEX hybrid cameras so popular, it's sure to be a winner from the start. But consider the refinements that have been added to the '5R: a class-leading hybrid autofocus system that combines the best aspects of phase-detection and contrast-detection for improved tracking of your subjects in space. A 180-degree, flippable LCD touchscreen that makes self-portraits a piece of cake (just touch the touchscreen). And, best of all, Wi-Fi capability, for enhanced sharing and camera control from devices like your smartphone or tablet.
Apps on your camera touchscreen
This Wi-Fi capability adds another bonus. Like your smartphone, your NEX-5R can download apps that can make your camera even more useful. Imagine doing retouching on your touchscreen, or using your tablet as a remote viewer/controller for your camera. Features like this can make you a director and your movie's star simultaneously. Don't let one member of the family (yourself) be invisible anymore.
Pro-level control
Professional touches, borrowed from the top-of the-line NEX-7 complete the package. Sensibly placed function buttons and control dials complement the versatile touchscreen so you'll always be ready for the next shot in seconds. They're so intuitive, you'll be adjusting for the shot in front of you rather than looking at menus.

The touch panel lets you operate the camera intuitively by touching the screen or sliding your finger across the screen.
Optional Electronic Viewfinder: The NEX-5R does not have a separate viewfinder, however, Sony offers an optional 0.5" OLED viewfinder (FDAEV1S), that plugs into the camera's top-mounted Smart Accessory Terminal 2.
HVL-F7S Flash: The camera does not have a built-in flash, however, the HVL-F7S external flash unit is included in the camera kit. It plugs into the Smart Accessory Terminal 2 on the top of the camera. When the flash is mounted, the NEX-5R offers the following flash modes:
- Autoflash: In auto mode the flash automatically fires if it is dark or against light.
- Fill-Flash: In this mode the flash fires every time the shutter is released.
- Slow Sync: Slow sync shooting allows you to shoot a clear image of both the subject and the background by slowing the shutter speed.
- Rear Sync: In rear sync mode, the objects illuminated by other light sources are captured first, then the flash is fired right before the exposure is completed.
- Flash Off: The flash does not fire.
APS-C-sized HD Image Sensor: The NEX-5R features an APS-C sized Exmor APS HD CMOS image sensor (23.5 x 15.6mm). It has approximately 16.7-million total pixels and 16.1-million effective pixels.

The camera is also compatible with Eye-Fi cards, which can upload images from the memory card wirelessly to your computer via Wi-Fi. Images recorded on SDXC cards cannot be imported to or played on computers or AV devices that are not compatible with exFAT.
Wi-Fi: The NEX-5R has built-in Wi-Fi capability, allowing you to transfer photos directly to your smartphone or tablet, using the PlayMemories Mobile app. You can also view your photos on Wi-Fi-ready TVs or wirelessly saved to your PC. The camera supports IEEE 802.11 b/g/n.
Optical SteadyShot: Optical SteadyShot is built into several E-mount lenses. When a SteadyShot-equipped lens is attached to the camera, you can turn on the SteadyShot feature to reduce the effects of camera shake. Other SteadyShot-equipped lenses include the SEL50F18, SEL1855, SEL55210, SEL18200LE, and the SEL18200. You cannot set Steady Shot when an A-mount lens is attached via adapter.
Camera Operations: The camera can be controlled using the following controls:
- Control Wheel: The control wheel, located on the back of the camera is a 4-way control (up, down, left, right) for selecting specific functions, as well as a rotary control for browsing through menu options and selecting still images. Pressing the center of the wheel confirms the selection or menu item.
- Control Dial: The top-mounted control dial lets you set the aperture value and shutter speed. The setting value assigned to the control dial changes for each shooting mode.
- Soft Keys: The three soft keys, located next to the touch screen, have different roles, depending upon the context. The assigned function of each soft key is displayed on the screen.
- Touch Panel: You can operate the camera intuitively by touching the screen or sliding your finger across the screen. To select an item, you touch the screen. To scroll up or down to hidden items, you slide your finger across the screen. During playback, you can advance to the next or previous photo by sliding your finger across the screen.
Fast Hybrid AF System: The NEX-5R's high-performance Fast Hybrid auto focus system combines two technologies. Phase Detection uses 99 auto focus points to give you a quick response, ideal for tracking moving subjects. Contrast Detection auto focus uses 25 AF points for precise focusing.
Drive Modes: The camera offers the following shooting modes:
- Single Shooting: Default setting for standard picture taking--shoots one still image.
- Continuous Shooting: When you press and hold the shutter button, the camera records the images continuously.
- Speed Priority Continuous: When you press and hold the shutter button, the camera records the images continuously at a maximum 10 frames per second.
- Self-Timer:
You can set the camera to two different self-timers:
- 10 Second: After you press the shutter button, the shutter will be released about 10 seconds later. This is convenient when the photographer wants to appear in a photo.
- 2 Second: After you press the shutter button, the shutter will be released about 2 seconds later. This is convenient to reduce camera-shake.
- Self-timer Continuous: After you press the shutter button, the camera will continuously take 3 or 5 images after a 10-second pause.
- Bracket (Continuous): The camera can shoot three continuous images with the exposures shifted automatically. This setting shoots images continuously with exposure value shifted by plus or minus 0.3 EV, 0.7 EV, 1.0 EV, 2.0 EV, or 3.0 EV.
- Remote Commander: The camera can be operated using the optional RMT-DSLR1 Wireless Remote Commander.
Exposure Modes: The camera offers the following exposure modes:
- Intelligent Auto: The camera analyses the subject, and allows you to shoot with appropriate settings. It recognizes and automatically switches to Night Scene, Tripod Night Scene, Night Portrait, Backlight, Backlight Portrait, Portrait, Landscape, Macro, Spotlight, Low Brightness or Baby.
- Superior Auto: The camera automatically recognizes and evaluates the shooting conditions and sets the appropriate settings automatically. The recognized scenes are the same, but the range of shooting functions is wider than those of Intelligent Auto.
- Scene Selection: You can select an appropriate mode for the subject or the shooting conditions to allow you to shoot the image with a suitable setting for the subject: Portrait, Landscape, Macro, Sports Action, Sunset, Night Portrait, Night Scene, and Hand-held Twilight, and Anti-Motion Blur.
- Sweep Panorama: You can create a panoramic image from
composed images. To shoot, pan the camera horizontally or vertically while
holding down the shutter button. You can select from the following panorama
shooting options:
- Standard: Vertical--3872 x 2160; Horizontal--8192 x 1856
- Wide: Vertical--5536 x 2160; Horizontal 12416 x 1856
- Manual Exposure: This mode allows you to shoot after adjusting the exposure (shutter speed and aperture) manually.
- Shutter Priority: This mode allows you to shoot after adjusting the shutter speed manually, letting the camera set the appropriate aperture. With a high shutter speed, the moving subject appears as if it is frozen on the image. With a slow shutter speed, the moving subject appears as if it were flowing.
- Aperture Priority: This mode allows you to shoot after adjusting the aperture value manually, letting the camera set the appropriate shutter speed. This mode gives you greater control over the depth of field.
- Program Auto: This mode allows you to shoot with the exposure adjusted automatically (both the shutter speed and the aperture value), while keeping the custom settings for ISO sensitivity, Creative Style, D-Range optimizer, etc.
Picture Effects: The NEX-5R allows you to shoot photos with an effect filter to obtain various images. Available effects include: Toy Camera, Pop Color, Posterization Color, Posterization B/W, Retro Photo, Soft High-key, Partial Color, and High Contrast Mono.
Image Layering: In some Scene Selection modes, the camera captures 6 images in a fraction of a second, then combines the data to create a single image. This helps to control blur (Anti-Motion Blur mode) and to get cleaner, sharper nighttime pictures (Hand-held Twilight mode).
Exposure Compensation: Exposure compensation is used to alter the camera's standard exposure setting. You can make the image look lighter (increased exposure) or darker (decreased exposure). The exposure compensation amount can be set up to +/-3.0 EV in 1/3-step increments (+/-2.0 EV for movies).
Face Detection: When activated, the camera detects the faces of your subjects and adjusts the focus, flash exposure, and white balance settings automatically. You can also select the priority face to be focused on, or register the faces on which to automatically focus upon.
Metering Mode: An advanced 1200-zone evaluative sensing system provides multi-pattern measuring for superior exposure control accuracy in a wide range of lighting conditions. You can select from the following methods for measuring the brightness of a subject:
- Multi-pattern: Measures light on each area after dividing the total area into multiple areas and determines the proper exposure of the entire screen.
- Center-Weighted: While emphasizing the central area of the screen, this method measures the average brightness of the entire screen.
- Spot: This method measures light only in the spot metering circle in the center of the frame.
White Balance: You can adjust the color tones according to the lighting conditions. You can choose from the following WB options:
- Auto WB: This mode adjusts the white balance automatically.
- Daylight: This mode adjusts for outdoors and sunlit subjects.
- Shade: This mode adjust for shady conditions on a clear day.
- Cloudy: This mode adjust for a cloudy sky.
- Incandescent: This mode adjusts for incandescent lighting.
- Fluorescent: This mode adjusts for fluorescent lighting with separate positions for Warm White, Cool White, Day White, and Daylight.
- Flash: This mode adjusts for flash conditions.
- Color Temperature: This mode adjusts the white balance depending upon the light source (color temperature). It achieves the effect of color compensation (CC) filters for photography.
- Custom: In a scene where the ambient light consists of multiple types of light sources, use of the custom white balance is recommended in order to accurately reproduce the whiteness.
Creative Style: This camera is pre-programmed with image styles optimal for various scenes and purposes. For each setting, you can adjust the contrast, saturation, and sharpness. You can choose from the following settings: Standard, Vivid, Portrait, Landscape, Sunset, and Black & White.
ISO Settings: ISO is a unit of measurement of sensitivity to light. The larger the number, the higher the sensitivity. The camera's ISO can be set manually or automatically at ISO 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200, 6400, 12800, or 25600.
Noise Reduction: The camera offers Long Exposure and High ISO Noise Reduction (NR) to automatically reduce the grainy noise found in photos during long exposures or high ISO settings.
Play And Print Functions
Playback Options: You can view images on the LCD monitor with 3 options: with recording data displayed, without recording data, or histogram display.
Auto Review: After an image is recorded, you can have the camera automatically display it on the LCD monitor for two, five or 10 seconds. You can also turn off auto review.
Image Rotation: Vertical shots can be rotated automatically so that they are displayed upright during playback. This can be done manually or automatically.

Hey you came into my Nike store this weekend and ur sister handed one of the employes ur card and Just wanted to say like what ur doing. Awesome pics and how many pairs of nikes do you have?
So, how many pair do you have?
Jennifer —-
I Just came upon your site for the first time today, (thanks to Twitter)….and all I can say is WOW!!!….DOUBLE WOW!!!
U R AWESOME!! I was reasonable certain that a woman such as yourself did not exist on the Planet Earth….
I feel like your early post from April of 2011 "The right Things to Call Pretty" (your manifesto) was something I've been writing in my head for years!
(although I've been writing it as a man in admiration of women in sneakers….)
To be honest, I am not savvy about the technical aspects of collecting (i.e. style names and release dates),
but my day is always…ALWAYS Brightened when the visage of a woman in sneakers presents itself…
Don't let the non believers wear you down, Keep The Faith Jennifer!
and I really hope we can trade notes or thoughts if you are open to it….
Rock On!!
Kool Breeze
Hey, thanks for the follow! I love what you're doing here! You have such a unique and beautiful sense of style.
Thanks for following us! We really love the pictures you take! awesome!
Thanks for following my blog. I've just been looking over your work and it is wonderful. Wish I had discovered it sooner
Thanks for visiting my blog, http://beseencommunications.wordpress.com/ I love your bog and your portfolio also.
Thank you for being my first follower EVER!!! It really means a lot. I love your blog, your style and your Nike's!! You take really nice photos. And your niece is SO CUTS!!! 🙂
UGG conventionele Haak is licht van gewicht en zal niet bestaan uit de richting van de pond of je bagage, wat betekent u uw UGG conventionele Haak met u hebben ieder tussen de tijd. Go to a showroom and ask for the cost of a real designer handbag and you'll never go again to that shop. Large adult pollock can grow up to forty inches in length and weigh in at around thirtyfive pounds, though more typical fish are around a foot in length and weigh anywhere between four and fifteen pounds. That is just how it is in this highly competitive designer handbag fashion era.They search appealing and elegant with tuxedos. There is an online LV find for you to get these bags online. This serotonin supplement will also improve your sleeping hours. It is a shoulder bag which is much larger than general handbags. But, as people have learned to scrimp and save during these tough times, you can bet that as they begin to make money again, they will spend the excess to treat themselves after the hard times.Those who are on a small budget will do better selecting long sleeve shirts from The Gap.
Thanks for following me. I love your blog! My son is also a Nike head from way back. That is all he would wear. I never mind buying them for him. He always cleans them after he wears them and they go back in their box. LOL!

Sabrina Carpenter: 'Girl Meets World' Will Have Flashbacks
Good news, 'Boy Meets World' fans! The actress behind 'Girl Meets World's' resident troublemaker dished to HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY and revealed that there'd be plenty of callbacks to the good ol' days.
It's going to be awesome and interesting to see Cory (Ben Savage) and Topanga (Danielle Fishel) navigating life as grownups, as the parents of the main character of Girl Meets World, their daughter Riley (Rowan Blanchard). But it's also going to make us miss the days of John Adams High and Chubby's, which is why we're thrilled about the inside info cast member Sabrina Carpenter gave to HollywoodLife.com exclusively.
'There Will Definitely Be Flashbacks' On 'Girl Meets World'
"I think that there will definitely be flashbacks," says Sabrina, who plays Maya Fox, Riley's troublemaker best friend on the show.
Everyone involved with Girl Meets World has preached that the show will be completely separate from Boy Meets World and will not rest on the source material. But Sabrina revealed at the Actors Fund's Looking Ahead Program 10 Year Celebration that these flashbacks will be a good way to remind the older, loyal fans of the moments they so fondly remember. "I don't think that the new kids will get it if they haven't watched Boy Meets World, but I think it will be for the old fans to do some flashbacks," Sabrina says.
Sounds great! Who knows, maybe Minkus or Jonathan Turner can show up in a flashback, or maybe they'll reference that really terrifying Halloween episode (BMW fans know which one I'm talking about).
Either way we're so excited for Girl Meets World, especially since it sounds like it's going to pave its own way while still keeping the original in mind.
— Andrew Gruttadaro, Reporting by Russ Weakland

SARASOTA — The golfers who had been regular players at Sarasota Golf Club will have to find a new venue to hone their games.
The course hosted its final rounds on Monday, when close to 200 golfers played the layout east of I-75 off Bee Ridge Road for the last time.
Keith Pope, the owner of Pope Golf which managed the course, said the closing was strictly due to his five-year lease expiring at the end of this month, while the property owner finalizes plans for a new residential development.
"That's why we're closing," said Pope, whose company will be removing its equipment from the property the rest of this week. "We were very successful."
Irv Press, an 89-year-old retiree from Brooklyn, N.Y., had been playing the course for 18 years.
"This is really, really sad," Press said, after he and his playing partner, Ed Wilkins, finished a round at the club last week.
"We enjoyed it here. From the pro shop, the people at the counters, everyone was so delightful. It's just the familiarity of everything is gone now."
"Irv and I are the last two members of a golfing group that slowly decreased in size through attrition and other ways that people leave the earth," said Wilkins, 79. "It's the end of some very happy years."
The club, one of Southwest Florida's oldest public courses, becomes the fifth area golf course to close in the last nine years, joining Sunrise Golf Club, Foxfire, Forest Lakes and Oak Ford.
Sarasota Golf Club was part of a larger trend during the mid-2000s housing bubble, in which developers bought struggling golf courses for land to build homes on.
In all, about half a dozen Southwest Florida courses were converted into residential communities during a three-year period beginning in 2005.
As the market sputtered, though, so did the concept. Until now.
It's unfortunate, though, for golfers like Scott Quinn, who has been bringing his 7-year-old son, Tyler, to Sarasota Golf Club, since he could walk.
"I love it because it's flat, it's straight and they let my little boy hang out with me," Quinn said. "It's awesome. They're kid-friendly, they have good leagues, the snack house is good."
Eric Jensen, Dave Myers and Bob Gray drove 45 minutes from the north end of Longboat Key every week to play Sarasota Golf Club because of its low rates.
"It's open enough for us 'handicap' guys, not too much water," said Gray, 76. "It's a great course. We hate to see it go. That's development, right?"
"It fits my game," Myers said. "The way I hit the ball, I can hit greens in two shots and the course has always been well-kept."
Now his group will have to try to find another course favorable to their games.
"They keep closing them, it limits the choices," Myers said.

Ooohhh, I personally love the sonnet, I like the tone and the contrast against the white. Can't wait to see what you decide on and the final reveal.
So exciting! Putting a fresh coat of paint on a room is such a invigorating start to changing a room. Your swan! Being a newbie blogger I may have missed it's story. Would you please share the swan's story sitting on your table? I love it.
I got the swan in Alexandria about 20 years ago at a lovely shop called the HOSPITALITY SHOP. It was the first thing I bought for this house when we were building it!
It is a soup tureen and a piece I never tire of.
Thanks for asking!
I love the sonnet. That was my pick right away. The same thing happened in the old house: the paint we chose showed PINK in the dining room and I HATED it. Lived with it almost a year and then HAD to repaint. Your room is going to be beautiful. Is the bolt of fabric for the chairs? XOReplyDelete
I like the sonnet. This room is going to be fabulous!ReplyDelete
I'm still painting too. One project lead to another. So I totally know where you're at. Hang in there it's going to look fantastic.
Leslie (aka gwen moss)
I can;t wait to see what you end up with. The fabric draped over the chairs... luv it!

a few years ago i had our dining room painted in two shades of off white/creams...above the chair rail is a custom mix (not sure of the color) and below is antique white. we added pre-made picture frames below the chair rail which look like moulding....it is so soothing and i've never tired of it. my dining room is a contrast of darks and cremes with a custom cut seagrass rug.
can't wait to see how yours turns out, i know it will be beautiful!
The woes of paint colors...Been there. Good for you for sticking to your guns and finding the right color. I know it's hard work but it will pay off 2 months from now. Can't wait to see it finished, good luck!ReplyDelete
I love it already, Yvonne! Both paint colors you've narrowed it down too are beautiful ... go with your gut, and it will be stunning, as always! Can't wait to see more, but don't work too hard this weekend!ReplyDelete
We've been repainting around the house also and each time we would start to paint, Scott would ask me..."Are you sure this is the right color?" and I had done the same thing, bought the sample and tried it on a small artist canvas...and then I had to have Scott repaint the canvas to make sure the swatch I was carrying around to match fabrics too was the color that was actually on the walls! I am really happy with the changes we have made and yours are going to be beautiful! Have a great weekend.ReplyDelete
I can't wait to see the final result!ReplyDelete
Hi Yvonne,
Love that fabric. Can you tell us more about it?
Very lovely! I think the sonnet would look amazing...such light coming in and it would be a beautiful contrast indeed!
Good luck!
Girl friend, I know EXACTLY what your going through. When we moved in, we knew that we would be repainting (meaning me), so I got so many 'tester' paints from Sherwin Williams that I started to think that they thought we were going to paint the entire house in samples! Everything changes with the sun light, the evening light, candle light, so it's so important to 'try on' all the tester paints in each and every room to see how the react and get along with the other elements in the room. I know that by taking your time, you will find the right shade, even if it is splitting hairs to find it.
Good luck to both you and Bobby in your efforts... at least he helps paint, mine travels all the time and just says "spend what you need too, see you when I get back"
Oops, forgot to ask about the rug, where did you get it?ReplyDelete
The sonnet looks pink on my screen and it appears (on my screen) that you have yellows in your carpet and yellows in your bolt of fabric, I would ask at the Benjamin Moore store what are the undertones of each of these paints and go with the one that has the most mix of yellow or at least stay away from the paint with red/pink undertones.
Does the Sea Pearl have some gray in it? If not, look for white that has grays and yellow undertones. Your Benjamin Moore staff can help you.
Good luck.
Mary from Virginia
I have such a hard time with paint color too and it DOES look differnt on different walls. I agree Yvonne, too yellow and I'm with everyone else I like the sonnet color.....can't wait to see it all finished! :-) sharon geersReplyDelete
Oh Yvonne, it's going to be beautiful! Would you mind sharing the source for your chandelier...and the rug? xoReplyDelete
Its going to look beautiful....I would love to know where you got your chandelier too.ReplyDelete
I love the sonnet. We painted our entire social area, living room, den and dining room a year ago and I still love it...paint makes such a difference!! Your dining room is gorgeous anyway and I adore that big swan in your dining table. Have a great weekend dear Ivonne, anjoy the change honey.
I go to the local Hobby Lobby and buy a stack of poster boards. I paint the entire board with TWO COATS. Then I can tape up the boards on the wall and watch them at different times of the day. The correct choice will jump out at you. The TWO COATS makes a big difference! Cherry KayReplyDelete
Eat your heart out posters... I am married to a great painter and he completely understands color. Am I lucky or what?? He has painted the dining room in our old house 5 times one year to get it right for me. Sigh.... I am so blessed! Thanks for letting me brag! :-)ReplyDelete
Wow, what a job! Good luck with all of this. I know it will look fabulous. You are a perfectionist! ~ SarahReplyDelete
My eye went right to the Swan....LOVE....paint really is tricky but I'm sure you will get it right!ReplyDelete
Gorgeous colors! Your dining room is stunning, and wWhatever you choose will be beautiful.ReplyDelete
Can't wait to see you work your decorating magic and the final results! :)ReplyDelete
Very exciting Yvonne! Your dining room is beautiful, I can't wait to see it all done and can't wait to see what you do to your chairs!ReplyDelete
I love the natural wicker on my computer screen, especiallt if that fabric is for your chairs. It looks to have a yellowish/wicker color to it. My humble opinion. Anyway you choose is a winner. Pretty room.ReplyDelete
Looks like the Dining Room is coming right along! I like the sonnet, gives a nice contrast to that beautiful trim and windows, but I am sure whatever you choose will look stunning, as always. Can't wait to see the room all finished. Have a great weekend!!ReplyDelete
Hello Yvonne,
You have SUCH a beautiful home! Your dining room will be beautiful whatever color you decide as all colors look different in various lights as you have discovered. But please don't PAINT those beautiful Chippendale chairs that are so lovely with your table with the inlay border and the beautiful sideboard. It will just ruin them! Painted chairs are very faddish and trendy, so in today and out tomorrow, whereas what you have is CLASSIC! If you are a bit tired of them, why not make slipcovers over the top rails and down over the seats with a little box pleated skirts and some contrast piping that picks up your accent color and blends with your host/hostess chairs that are fabric and already have painted legs? And/or add "ballet" ties from the seats down onto the dark legs (very sexy)? That way...you can have a summer and winter look and have not permanently changed your side chairs...just giving my opinion here 'cause it's going to get to "country" looking if you paint them, whereas all your other things have a nice level of sophistication and formality as they are...just beautiful already! This designer's opinion...what you already have is beautiful! firstname.lastname@example.com
That room is spectacular even in its "mid way" stage......cannot wait to see the end result. Neutrals are always a safe way to go, that way you change things up with fabrics,etc....exciting!ReplyDelete
Your room is so gorgeous. I love the architectural features in there and all of those paint colors look so pretty.
I especially love the beige/brown color shown in your sidebar picture of the kitchen. What color is that? Looks wonderful.
Hugs, Marty
Oh my...the room looks beautiful already!...Your impeccable sense of style will lead you down the right path...I can't wait to see it all completed...it is going to be just amazing Yvonne!ReplyDelete
I love the sonnet. This room is beautiful. I love the chandelier.
Love the architectural ceilings and the wainscotting .
You room is going to look devine!!
If I paint once, I paint twice, I never get it right. The last time we did our dining room it was the 4th color on the walls that stayed and I don't remember now if we got it right or got tired of painting. I suck totally at picking paint, and today is the day I go to the paint store. The agony.
Great tip on the color swatch! I know your room will be amazing....no matter what color you choose!
PS I really like Sonnet. :)
The wainscotting looks fantastic. Is it new?
Love all the colors that you have chosen for the walls.
We had trouble with the paint in our dining room. It is a yelloe.
I have gotten used to it so it will stay. But it did take a year
before I decided not to have hubby repaint it.
Enjoy your beautiful dining room.
Love what you are doing with your room! I am in the process of re-doing my dining room too. I just found your chandy at overstock-love it! What size is your dining room? I am worried that the chandy will be too small over my table, but it looks great in your room. How about those custom chairs? Did you buy those some where and take them to be recovered? i would love to have 2 of those for my room!! NancyReplyDelete
The dining room is going to be so beautiful. I really like the sonnet.ReplyDelete
Love the light and airy new look so current now, fresh and crisp...I think your gonna love the neutral pallet that you can bring color in and out of for what ever occasion or event...so creative...thanks for sharing, come over and see the Valentine Tree...It reminds me of something you would like,...ReplyDelete
great tip, yvonne. fyi i am not happy with dove wing on trim in some places in our house where the painter mixed this hue up with white dove. it has a dingy, yellowy tone at certain times of the day whereas the white dove stays true.
I feel your pain with the paint chips, dear friend!!!
I, too, chose Sea Pearl & Sonnet when viewing your paint chip choices!!!
Good luck with your endeavors!!! That fabric is gorgeous!!!
Hi Yvonne, Your dining room has such beautiful architectural details. I paint poster board, tape it to the wall and live with it for a few days before making a paint choice. xx, SherryReplyDelete
Hi, Yvonne! Isn't it amazing about paint? We stew and stew over colors, make the right choice -- finally!-- and then the mixed paint ends up different from: a) the fan or chip sample, b) the painted test sample on our walls, and c) the final mix from the paint store! Discouraging. But you are making progress, and your dining room is gorgeous!
I have a question of a different nature: Did you ever do a tutorial on glazing? I was reading your "Best Painting Tip Ever, Really!" and you mentioned how easy glazing is, but I couldn't find the tutorial for it. Can you help me out? Thank you in advance!
Hi, Yvonne, Love your dining room! I, too, like the Sonnet color for more contrast with the white. Please don't paint your gorgeous Chippendale chairs, though. They are a treasure and go so well with the table. I think your new upholstered chairs add enough of the light look you are looking for. Love the whole set with that rug! And your swan, too!
I finally found the "perfect" light tan/grey color for our new house but because they are all open to each other and I didn't want the same color throughout, I had our paint guy take the main color which I used in the dinning, kitchen and living room and darken it by 50% for the family room that is large (helped to make it feel less open). I also had him lighten it by 50% for a few other rooms in the house. This is great if you find the perfect color. Love all you do!!!!
Chrissy Jones
I, personally, like the Sonnet and think you could even go one shade darker on the same "palet" as Sonnet. I think that would be very rich looking. You could even pain the foyer one shade darker than the living room (or visa-versa, dependingong on what the foyer touched onto, so-to-speak). We're selecting paint colors for our new home now and it is certainly eye-wakening. I'm sure whatever you select will be gorgeous!ReplyDelete
Paint to room is very hard and decision making job. Chose the right color for the room or kitchen is really really big decision. And I am waiting for your color result.ReplyDelete

The city will soon ignite again. Many remember last April, the inaugural One Spark festival, when downtown was transformed into a creator's utopia.
One Spark is a five-day, crowd-funded festival that serves as a platform for creators to exhibit their ideas. The projects will be exposed to more than 100,000 people with the idea of connecting creators to the resources they need to make their ideas a reality.
People will display projects from the five categories: art, music, science, technology and newly added, innovation. They will have the chance to win from $310,000 of crowd funds and awards.
Last year the top winner was Rethreaded, a creative company with the mission to break the cycle of the sex trade. The project brought home more than $6,000 in crowd-funds.
The founder of Rethreaded, Kristen Keen, said that One Spark was a game changer and not only because of the winnings.
"It put us on the map," Keen said, "most people in Jacksonville heard about us though One Spark."
This year, a newly reformed price structure will allow for even more winners than last year. Sponsored awards, including a check for the project that gains the highest amount of online contributions, will fund great ideas.
Even the "losers" of One Spark may get their big break. Private investors, gallery owners and music producers will bring $3.25 million to the table.
Last year, Shad Khan's STACHE fund invested over $1 million in emerging businesses and this year he will invest again.
According to Mededith O'Malley Johnson, the Public Relations and Volunteer Services Manager of One Spark, the number one benefit surveyed creators got from One Spark was "immediate market feedback and validation from the general public."
Sylvia Walker, a creator last year, only received $647 from crowd funds, but she credits One Spark to her success.
"The exposure and the branding that we got from One Spark in 2013 was priceless," Walker said.
She now has her own storefront in The Landing and will participate in One Spark this year as a venue.
Anyone with an idea, and a less than a $1 million dollar-a-year operating budget, is eligible to participate as a creator in One Spark, regardless of the stage of development.
Volunteers are also appreciated. Johnson described One Spark volunteers as an interesting and diverse group.
"It's just like-minded people who care about entrepreneurship and care about making Jacksonville amazing," Johnson said.
There are a few other changes being made to the festival. The event, ranging from Hemming Plaza to The Landing, will shrink from an almost square mile wide footprint to 20 square blocks. This, along with other ideas such as more visible signage, will ensure each project receives proper foot traffic.
Although projects will be less spread out, One Spark will be adding almost 20 new venues.
This year a speaker series is being added April 10-11. The top minds of entrepreneurship and creativity, such as Brian Meece, the CEO of RocketHub, will share information and ideas for a price of $250 a ticket.
The number of attendees is expected to increase from the conservatively estimated 130,000 who attended last year. Visitors will be able to vote on their favorite creator projects, eat at the food truck food village and enjoy the city.
One Spark will dominate downtown April 9-13. Anyone looking to volunteer can sign-up on One Spark's website.
This story was reported by Ignite Media, an independent news bureau created by University of North Florida students.

A bit late but I recently watched it. Like you, I don't really have any interest in Godzilla/Gojira movies or indeed, monster movies in general, but Shin Godzilla gets a big tick from me. There was only one reason I decided to give it a shot: the director Hideaki Anno (of Evangelion fame). As I get older, I increasingly find action movies boring (e.g. you see one car chase scene, you've seen them all) but Shin Godzilla offers more than just urban destruction (of which it has pretty good special effects by Asian movie standards). Without spoiling anything, I do like this Godzilla's special attacks visuals.

History of The Silver Swan
This musical automaton is much loved and over the last century has become the icon of The Bowes Museum. The Silver Swan dates from 1773 and was first recorded in 1774 as a crowd puller in the Mechanical Museum of James Cox, a London showman and dealer. The internal mechanism is by John Joseph Merlin, a famous inventor of the time.
It was one of the many purchases that the Bowes' made from Parisian jeweller M. Briquet, with John paying £200 for it in 1872. John and Joséphine first saw the swan at the 1867 Paris International Exhibition where jeweller Harry Emanuel exhibited it.
The American novelist Mark Twain also saw the Silver Swan at the Paris exhibition in 1867 and described it in his book The Innocents Abroad:
'I watched the Silver Swan, which had a living grace about his movement and a living intelligence in his eyes - watched him swimming about as comfortably and unconcernedly as it he had been born in a morass instead of a jeweller's shop - watched him seize a silver fish from under the water and hold up his head and go through the customary and elaborate motions of swallowing it...'
Joséphine, whose father was a clock-maker, seems to have had a fondness for automata. Whilst the Silver Swan is the best known, there are a number of others including mechanical toys, music boxes and watches with automaton movements at The Bowes Museum. Examples include an early 17th century lion clock made in Germany, whose eyes swivel, and a mechanical gold mouse, circa 1810, probably Swiss.
How The Silver Swan Works
The swan is life-size and is controlled by three separate clockwork mechanisms. The Silver Swan rests on a stream made of twisted glass rods interspersed with silver fish. When the mechanism is wound up, the glass rods rotate, the music begins, and the Swan twists its head to the left and right and appears to preen its back. It then appears to sight a fish in the water below and bends down to catch it, which it then swallows as the music stops and it resumes its upright position.
Usually you can see the Swan in action every afternoon at 2.00. This performance lasts approximately 40 seconds.
The Silver Swan is currently not perfoming daily at 2.00, when social distancing measures are no longer necessary the Swan will resume normal working.

The Asus Taichi, the dual-screen, Windows 8-toting ultrabook, has been delayed for the second time.
An Asus spokesperson confirmed the delay in an email to PCWorld. The spokesperson said the device could go on sale in December in the US, though it hasn't ruled out another delay.
The ultrabook was originally supposed to go on sale at the end of October, at the same time as Windows 8.
Several US retailers have stopped taking pre-orders for the product. In the UK, Expansys is still taking pre-orders, though the release date is given as November 19.
No reason has been given for the delay.
Dual-screen device
The Taichi looks like a regular ultrabook, but has a second screen on the lid. Close it, and it effectively becomes a tablet. Two people can use it at the same time, too.
Both screens are HD resolution as well. Inside is a 128GB SSD, and 4GB of RAM.
And while it might weigh more than a tablet, it's still among the lightest laptops out there.
It's a real standout device, with a USP making it a world away from all the iPad clones we've seen - and we're currently reviewing our sample. It'd be a real shame if we had to endure a long wait before it reaches the shelves.
